Summary - Rose Cottage, Rotten Row, Bradfield RG7 6LL
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Charming 1930s cottage with large garden, workshop and extension potential in a peaceful hamlet ideal for downsizers.
Large 0.20 acre established English country garden
Rose Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom detached home set in a private hamlet on the edge of the North Wessex Downs. Occupying a generous 0.20 acre plot, the cottage benefits from a well-tended English country garden, an open double garage with boarded storage above and a timber workshop/log store. The house retains attractive period features including a brick open fireplace and dual-aspect reception rooms that flood the interior with natural light.
This property has clear potential to suit downsizers or those seeking a quiet rural retreat within easy reach of Bradfield and Reading. The layout includes three reception rooms plus a practical kitchen and utility, while three double bedrooms and two bathrooms sit upstairs. There is scope to renovate and possibly extend subject to planning consent, making this attractive for buyers wanting to add value or tailor the accommodation to current needs.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are original solid brick with no known insulation, so upgrades may be needed for modern efficiency. The house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s and is being offered first time on the market in over 50 years, which brings character but also the likelihood of maintenance or modernisation works. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Location strengths include very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus easy countryside access with footpaths to nearby Stanford Dingley and local pubs. The nearest rail services are at Theale and the M4 is within a short drive, providing reasonable commuter links while keeping the property in a tranquil rural setting.
